Bobbie Rio are you serious – Meddellin, Colombia???

I know Roosh wants to get to know the Meddellin Cartel personally. I would skip meddellin if I were you. Hope you stomach feels better bro.

Right? Maybe Roosh has inferior genes. :)

Kidding. On the other hand, after this experience I don’t think you’ll ever again take for granted the ability to drink U.S. water/eat at a restaurant and not have to worry about parasites and blowing out your colon.

I told you saw when you left.

Everyone, was like no Peru and Ecuador are not that bad! Right!

Make sure you stop by San Pedro de Atacama y Pedro de Valdivia in Chile. Arica is nice too.

I hope you at least get to see Machu Picchu.

Well you could have ended up with typhoid, which also occurs due to ingestion of fecal matter…

hey man

you got the giardia. i’m a med school student so maybe i can tell you a bit about it. yea you may have got it from touching a guy’s feces indirectly. but the most common way of getting it is drinking water that is not sterile. giardia isnt really deadly or anything but it does cause fatty diarheaa, which means you wont absorb as much fat in your diet which means you can binge on cheesecakes. your doc should have prescribed metronidazole. feel better

not to make you feel worse, but my best friend got giardia our freshman year of college and, despite technically overcoming the illness, she now refers to her uber-sensitive stomach as “g-boy.” fried and spicy foods have proven to be particularly persistent annoyances. get comfortable with intestinal explosions, man. it could be a lifelong thing.

Bobby Rio is right……but make sure Rio or Buenos Aires is the last stop, if you want to leave that continent in a good mood with good memories… Your strength will be much needed in these two cities, so don’t waste too much on shit holes towns in countries like Ecuador The only positive about being mugged, shots fired, parasites…..is that as you move on towards more civilized areas everything there will seem so much better.

PS. Added bunus is that your new appreciation will lead you to kiss the ground when you get back to US :-)

Hate to repeat myself but fuck Peru, equador, new guinia, and the rest of the less than desirable countries… they will burn you out before you get to the good ones. You’ll wind up getting sick of south america before you get to experience its bliss.

Rebook your flights and spend most your time in:

Buenos Aires
Chile (never been there but heard good things)
Rio de Janiero (dont go first cuz you won’t leave)
Fortaleza Brazil
Meddellin, Colombia (be careful of kidnappers)
Montevideo, Uruagauy
Flioronopolis, brazil
the ilsand of san paulo (going to the city of san pualo is your choice… basically a friendlier NY)
The rain forest (you won’t get pussy but may as well see it since you’re there.

Lets put it this way… if you were in Rio the only reason you would be posting on the internet is to show us pics of the beautiful ladies you are banging.. and the only reason you would have to see a doctor is to get some antibotics for a case of clap you got from fortetting to wear a rubber.

just my thougths
